1PW8 - missing OTP QR code scanner?

The OTP QR code scanner feature is missing. If I click "add OTP" then it just shows a text string field. Nothing else. No Option to scan the Code or paste the QR code Pic into 1PW app

    I do hope this feature will be in the 1PW8 Desktop release?

    I merged your thread into this one so you can see the workaround. Additionally I added your name to that same internal tracker. :)

    Hi telephoneman2 ,

    Thanks DenalB

    DenalB is correct that feature has not been added to the new version yet. I have added your voice to our internal tracker to let the developers know they should add it.

    You can two-factor authentication codes using 1Password in the browser as DenalB said. Here is the guide on how to do that: https://support.1password.com/one-time-passwords/#to-save-your-qr-code-using-1password-in-your-browser

    If you don't have it already here is the link to get the latest version of 1Password in Safari: https://apps.apple.com/app/1password-for-safari/id1569813296

    Hi @Tales !

    QR code scanning is not implemented yet. But as a workaround, you are able to scan a QR code with the help of the browser extension. This should work.

    Hi!

    In the old 1password, I would often add OTP (One time passwords) by scanning the QR code with your awesome little screen scanner tool. The new version doesn't allow for this and requests me to input a OTP code. Sadly, most websites don't give this code in a raw format for me to put in.

    I would like this feature to return.
